The Radioactive Boy Scout

The Radioactive Boy Scout

The Radioactive Boy Scout is a true story of a boy who builds his own nuclear reactor, which causes an EPA emergency, and thousands of dollars in cleanup  resulting in barrels of radioactive waste being trucked to Utah. The boy got radioactive materials from common household items like smoke detectors and lanterns, which he concentrated into chunks of pure metal. He used these to create a nuclear reactor.
